The Development of Human Resource Management In China IntroductionWith the advent of the 21st century, Human Resource Management, as a relatively new management subject, is playing a more and more important role in today’s business activities. This repor t mainly discusses 3 questions about today’s human resource management. The first section discusses the changing function of human resource management in terms of 3 aspects which are staff-company relations, HR model development and HR strategies. The second section describes the exploring stage of HRM in China. System building, recruitment and motivation are the three aspects to support the opinion. The third section discusses the new challenges that HR managers in China may face. In this part, challenges from the changing business age, HR managers’ abilities to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity and solitary to collective activity are discussed.Question 1Human resource management, as the quickly developing subject, without doubt, has changed a lot in its function in many fields. This section will mainly discuss the HRM’s change and expansion in the aspect of staff-company relations, HR model development and HR strategies as the following.In the aspect of the staff-company relations, the changing functions will be discussed from 3 aspects which are power factors, employees and motivational method. First, in terms of the power factors, 10 years ago the relationship between employees and the company was regarded as ‘Labor and Enterprise’ while nowadays more companies show understanding and respect for the human spirit. For example, Google China places a piano in the hall of the company and even set a kitchen and the washing machine for their employees (Jim Westcott, 2005). Second, in terms of the employees, employees are considered as thinking and rational beings around 10 years ago. The reason why they chose this company was the satisfactory salary. But today, staffs are considered as fully evolved, completely satisfied, mature human beings. Third, in the motivational methods aspect, the change is really huge. A decade ago, companies often drove employees through basic needs such as a big bonus. While the role seems to highlight people’s social and intellectual needs.In the aspect of HR model development, some human resource management functions have expanded during the past decade. One of the new products of human resource management is the HR outsourcing which support the core HR activities and business processes associated with HR administration. Outsourcing HR functions or processes is a viable decision for businesses, particularly those whose internal HR department has reached the limit of its effectiveness; businesses that want to access new programs or services (but don't want to incur the required investment), or those that want to focus on core competencies. The advantage of HR outsourcing is obvious: Obtaining access to (internally) unavailable expertise, skills, technologies; increased flexibility; reducing costs/reduce investment. This way has achieved great success in some countries, forexample, Canada. Spending on HR outsourcing in Canada, is forecast to increase by more than 13%, on average, every year between 2005 and 2009 (Jim Westcott, 2005).The majority of HR strategies have been developed over the last decade. Twenty per cent of respondents indicate that an HR strategy has been in place at their institution for less than three years, 60% report that the HR strategy was developed in the past three to seven years and 20% indicate that the strategy is ten or more years old. These data reinforce the notion that HR management has taken on a much more strategic role within the past decade. The HR strategy in recruitment and retention can be discussed in long-term goals as well as shorter-term operational procedures. In terms of recruitment and retention some institutions are primarily concerned with short-term objectives. For example, one Canadian respondent stated that their HR strategy involves ‘an annual recruitment and retention plan that governs academic staff hiring and retention for the following academic year’ (Ronold G Ehrenbdeg, 2005). Other responses highlight long-term objectives and broader issues relating to staff development and performance as well as policy and strategic planning for future institutional growth. For example, one Australian institution states that their HR strategy is concerned with ‘workforce planning, age profiling, attraction and retention issues, and reengineering the recruitment process’. The general focus of this strategy is on strategic planning for successive generations.Question 2With China's entering the WTO, modern enterprise management concept has been gradually accepted by Chinese enterprises and, human resources management has been developed and promoted in the majority of enterprises. However, as a management skill that gets access to China less than 30 years and faced with the cultural conflict, HRM in China still stays in the exploring stage.In the aspect of system building, human resources management system in China is imperfect still. According to the recent report of HR in China, less than forty percent of the enterprises have established the business development strategy combining with human resources management system. Furthermore, only 12.9% of them can really implement this strategy. What is more, employees’ career development planning, staff representation system, and the staff Rationalized suggestion are the 3 strategies that are not completed enough. Only 9% of the researched en terprises establish and implement the employees’ career development planning (Zhao Yin, 2007).In terms of the recruitment, the forms of recruitment in Chinese enterprises are not diversified enough. Although the modern enterprises can recruit through more and more channels such as networks, an executive search firm, job fairs, campus recruitment, advertising media and so many ways that can provide companies with human resources information, the majority of the companies still choose form as job fairs. However, according to the ‘2007 Human Resource Report’, the percentage of the surveyedcompanies which have been tried to recruit through network was 35%, which was 12% higher than that of the year 2006. Secondly, the technologies during the recruitment that the companies use are still in a growing stage. Only half of the enterprises plan to use professional test tool to find suitable staff. Ways like knowledge test, psychological test and presentation are introduced in China recently and are welcomed.The motivation in China is at a developing stage. Most Chinese companies have motivation strategies. Quite a few of them prefer to choose short-term and direct motivating strategies like paying. At present, China has 70% of the enterprises in accordance with different types of personnel to set different pay scales (Zhao Yin, 2007). Paying is a common kind of economic motivation. Paying incentives for executives directly show in their steady growth of income - wages, which is very intuitive. However, with the ra ise of executives’ social status and overall ability, material and money are no longer the key point of motivation. Research from China Database, one of the most authority databases, show that 19.6% of the surveyed enterprises use virtual equity of the company as the long-term motivation methods and 18.9% of them use the form of giving share options as the long-term motivation, while 78.2% of the enterprises have not implemented the long-term motivation. As one of the ways to motivate staff, long-term also includes creating a platform for employees which may attract employees since they can exert their abilities fully.Question 3As the functions of human resource have changed since the 21st century, challenges are coming to the human resource managers in China. For China is still in the exploring stage mentioned in question 2, the challenges should be more than those in developed human resource management countries. In the information era, the economic era and the knowledge, the challenges for Chinese HRM managers are mainly from these three fields.The first challenges for HRM is the changing role of organizations from the Industrial Age to the Information Age. Work performed in factories by machines is being replaced by work in offices or at computer terminals. And instead of working with things, people increasingly work with ideas and concepts. Information and knowledge have replaced manufacturing as the source of most new jobs. Thus, taking charge of thousands of workers in a factory is not the typical functions of modern human resource managers. Although the numbers of employees may decrease, but the extent of difficulty will not decrease since employees are more knowledgeable and informative.Like the popular saying nowadays ’The only thing that doesn’t change is change’, with the development of the technologies, tools that human being use speed up the pace of people’s life. Thus the second challenge which may face the human resource manager is the abilities to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity. Static, permanent organizations designed for a stable and predictable world are giving way to flexible, adaptive organizations more suited for a new world of change and transformation. Emphasis on permanence, tradition and the past is giving way to creativity and innovation in the searchfor new solutions, new processes, and new products and services. Maintaining the status is less important than a vision of the future and the organization's destiny. We are used to dealing with certainty and predictability. We need to become accustomed to dealing with uncertainty and ambiguity.The next challenges will be the ability of HR managers to adapt from muscular to mental work (Alexandria, 1997). Repetitive physical labor that doesn't add value is increasingly being replaced by mental creativity. Routine and monotony are giving way to innovation and a break with tradition. In the past, people were considered to be merely workers, an old concept that associated people with things. Now people are considered purveyors of activities and knowledge whose most important contributions are their intelligence and individual talents. We are used to dealing with physical, repetitive manual labor; we need to become accustomed to dealing with mental, creative, and innovative work.What is more, another problem that may challenge HR managers in China is to organize employee to finish projects from solitary to collective activity (FangCai, 2005). With the rising difficulty of complex and technology, it is almost impossible for only one person to finish a project. Thus teamwork is supplanting individual activity. The old emphasis on individual efficiency (on which the total efficiency of the organization depended) is being replaced by group synergy. It's a matter of multiplying efforts, rather than simply adding them. We are used to individualized, isolated work; we need to change to high-performance teamwork. Thus the function of human resource managers is to offer the company the suitable person and coordinate the relationship among the team, especially in China, a country that highlights relationship and harmony very much.ConclusionThis article first analyses the changed functions of human resource management nowadays. In terms of the staff-company relations, a trend of closer and humane relationship between staff and companies emerges. The model of HR outsourcing is showing its strong competitiveness and may become one of the main way that HR management to use. Secondly, this article states that China today still stays in the exploring stage of human resource management. The uncompleted HRM system building, the single form of recruitment, the growing interview technologies and the lack of long- term motivation in Chinese enterprises, all these facts shows that China has a long way to go in the development of HRM. Thirdly, Challenges for HRM managers in China are tough and numerous. Changes from the Industrial Age to the Information Age, stability to change, muscular to mental work lead the challenges for Chinese HRM managers. To sum up, it is a long way to go for the development of human resource management in China.人力资源管理在中国的发展导言随着二十一世纪的到来,人力资源管理作为一个相对较新的管理问题,扮演了一个越来越重要的作用在当今的商业中。

Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-11 EditionHuman Resources, Training, and Labor Relations Managers and SpecialistsNature of the WorkTraining, Other Qualifications, and AdvancementEmploymentJob OutlookProjectionsEarningsWagesRelated OccupationsSources of Additional InformationSignificant PointsThe educational backgrounds of these workers vary considerably, reflecting the diversity of duties and levels of responsibility.College graduates and those who have earned certification should have the best job and advancement opportunities.Human resources occupations require strong interpersonal skills.Much faster than average growth is expected during the projection period.Nature of the Work About this sectionEvery organization wants to attract, motivate, and retain the most qualified employees and match them to jobs for which they are best suited. Human resources, training, and labor relations managers and specialists provide this connection. In the past, these workers performed the administrative function of an organization, such as handling employee benefits questions or recruiting, interviewing, and hiring new staff in accordance with policies established by top management. Today's human resources workers manage these tasks, but, increasingly, they consult with top executives regarding strategic planning. They have moved from behind-the-scenes staff work to leading the company in suggesting and changing policies.In an effort to enhance morale and productivity, limit job turnover, and help organizations increase performance and improve results, these workers also help their companies effectively use employee skills, provide training and development opportunities to improve those skills, and increase employees' satisfaction with their jobs and working conditions. Although some jobs in the human resources field require only limited contact with people outside the human resources office, dealing with people is an important part of the job.There are many types of human resources, training, and labor relations managers and specialists. In a small organization, a human resources generalist may handle all aspects of human resources work, and thus require an extensive range of knowledge. The responsibilities of human resources generalists can vary widely, depending on their employer's needs.In a large corporation, the director of human resources may supervise several departments, each headed by an experienced manager who most likely specializes inone human resources activity, such as employment and placement, compensation and benefits, training and development, or labor relations. The director may report to a top human resources executive. (See top executives elsewhere in the Handbook.) Employment and placement. Employment and placement managers supervise the recruitment, hiring, and separation of employees. They also supervise employment, recruitment, and placement specialists, including employment interviewers. Employment, recruitment, and placement specialists recruit and place workers. Recruitment specialists maintain contacts within the community and may travel considerably, often to job fairs and college campuses, to search for promising job applicants. Recruiters screen, interview, and occasionally test applicants. They also may check references and extend job offers. These workers must be thoroughly familiar with their organization, the work that is done, and the human resources policies of their company in order to discuss wages, working conditions and advancement opportunities with prospective employees. They also must stay informed about equal employment opportunity (EEO) and affirmative action guidelines and laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act.Employment interviewers—whose many job titles include human resources consultants, human resources development specialists, and human resources coordinators—help to match employers with qualified jobseekers. Similarly, employer relations representatives, who usually work in government agencies or college career centers, maintain working relationships with prospective employers and promote the use of public employment programs and services.Compensation, benefits, and job analysis. Compensation, benefits, and job analysis specialists administer compensation programs for employers and may specialize in specific areas such as pensions or position classifications. For example, job analysts, occasionally called position classifiers, collect and examine detailed information about job duties in order to prepare job descriptions. These descriptions explain the duties, training, and skills that each job requires. Whenever a large organization introduces a new job or reviews existing jobs, it calls upon the expert knowledge of job analysts.Occupational analysts research occupational classification systems and study the effects of industry and occupational trends on worker relationships. They may serve as technical liaisons between companies or departments, government, and labor unions.Establishing and maintaining a firm's pay structure is the principal job of compensation managers. Assisted by compensation analysts or specialists, compensation managers devise ways to ensure fair and equitable pay rates. They may participate in or purchase salary surveys to see how their firm's pay compares with others, and they ensure that the firm's pay scale complies with changing laws and regulations. In addition, compensation managers often oversee the compensation side of their company's performance management system. They may design reward systems such as pay-for-performance plans, which might include setting merit pay guidelines and bonus or incentive pay criteria. Compensation managers also might administer executive compensation programs or determine commission rates andother incentives for corporate sales staffs.Employee benefits managers and speci alists administer a company’s employee benefits program, notably its health insurance and retirement plans. Expertise in designing, negotiating, and administering benefits programs continues to take on importance as employer-provided benefits account for a growing proportion of overall compensation costs, and as benefit plans increase in number and complexity. For example, retirement benefits might include defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans, such as 401(k) or thrift savings plans and profit-sharing or stock ownership plans. Health benefits might include medical, dental, and vision insurance and protection against catastrophic illness. Familiarity with health benefits is a top priority for employee benefits managers and specialists, because of the rising cost of providing healthcare benefits to employees and retirees. In addition to health insurance and retirement coverage, many firms offer employees life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, disability insurance, and benefits designed to meet the needs of a changing workforce, such as parental leave, long-term nursing or home care insurance, wellness programs, and flexible benefits plans. Benefits managers must keep abreast of changing Federal and State regulations and legislation that may affect employee benefits. Working with employee assistance plan managers or work-life coordinators, many benefits managers work to integrate the growing number of programs that deal with mental and physical health, such as employee assistance, obesity, and smoking cessation, into their health benefits programs. Employee assistance plan managers, also called employee welfare managers or work-life managers, are responsible for a wide array of programs to enhance employee safety and wellness and improve work-life balance. These may include occupational safety and health standards and practices, health promotion and physical fitness, medical examinations and minor health treatment, such as first aid, flexible work schedules, food service and recreation activities, carpooling and transportation programs such as transit subsidies, employee suggestion systems, child care and elder care, and counseling services. Child care and elder care are increasingly significant because of growth in the number of dual-income households and the older population. Counseling may help employees deal with emotional disorders, alcoholism, or marital, family, consumer, legal, and financial problems. Some employers offer career counseling and outplacement services. In some companies, certain programs, such as those dealing with physical security or information technology, may be coordinated in separate departments by other managers. (See administrative services managers elsewhere in the Handbook.)Training and development. Training and development managers and specialists create, procure, and conduct training and development programs for employees. Managers typically supervise specialists and make budget-impacting decisions in exchange for a reduced training portfolio. Increasingly, executives recognize that training offers a way of developing skills, enhancing productivity and quality of work, and building worker loyalty. Enhancing employee skills can increase individual and organizational performance and help to achieve business results. Increasingly, executives realize that developing the skills and knowledge of its workforce is a business imperative that cangive them a competitive edge in recruiting and retaining high quality employees and can lead to business growth.Other factors involved in determining whether training is needed include the complexity of the work environment, the rapid pace of organizational and technological change, and the growing number of jobs in fields that constantly generate new knowledge and, thus, require new skills. In addition, advances in learning theory have provided insights into how people learn and how training can be organized most effectively.Training managers oversee development of training programs, contracts, and budgets. They may perform needs assessments of the types of training needed, determine the best means of delivering training, and create the content. They may provide employee training in a classroom, computer laboratory, or onsite production facility, or through a training film, Web video-on-demand, or self-paced or self-guided instructional guides. For live or in-person training, training managers ensure that teaching materials are prepared and the space appropriately set, training and instruction stimulate the class, and completion certificates are issued at the end of training. For computer-assisted or recorded training, trainers ensure that cameras, microphones, and other necessary technology platforms are functioning properly and that individual computers or other learning devices are configured for training purposes. They also have the responsibility for the entire learning process, and its environment, to ensure that the course meets its objectives and is measured and evaluated to understand how learning impacts performance.Training specialists plan, organize, and direct a wide range of training activities. Trainers consult with training managers and employee supervisors to develop performance improvement measures, conduct orientation sessions, and arrange on-the-job training for new employees. They help employees maintain and improve their job skills and prepare for jobs requiring greater skill. They work with supervisors to improve their interpersonal skills and to deal effectively with employees. They may set up individualized training plans to strengthen employees’ existing skills or teach new ones. Training specialists also may set up leadership or executive development programs for employees who aspire to move up in the organization. These programs are designed to develop or “groom” leaders to replace those leaving the organization and as part of a corporate succession plan. Trainers also lead programs to assist employees with job transitions as a result of mergers or consolidation, as well as retraining programs to develop new skills that may result from technological changes in the work place. In government-supported job-training programs, training specialists serve as case managers and provide basic job skills to prepare participants to function in the labor force. They assess the training needs of clients and guide them through the most appropriate training. After training, clients may either be referred to employer relations representatives or receive job placement assistance.Planning and program development is an essential part of the training specialist's job. In order to identify and assess training needs, trainers may confer with managers and supervisors or conduct surveys. They also evaluate training effectiveness to ensure that employees actually learn and that the training they receive helps the organizationmeet its strategic goals and achieve results.Depending on the size, goals, and nature of the organization, trainers may differ considerably in their responsibilities and in the methods they use. Training methods also vary by whether the training predominantly is knowledge-based or skill-based or sometimes a combination of the two. For example, much knowledge-based training is conducted in a classroom setting. Most skill training provides some combination of hands-on instruction, demonstration, and practice at doing something and usually is conducted on a shop floor, studio, or laboratory where trainees gain experience and confidence. Some on-the-job training methods could apply equally to knowledge or skill training and formal apprenticeship training programs combine classroom training and work experience. Increasingly, training programs involve interactive Internet-based training modules that can be downloaded for either individual or group instruction, for dissemination to a geographically dispersed class, or to be coordinated with other multimedia programs. These technologies allow participants to take advantage of distance learning alternatives and to attend conferences and seminars through satellite or Internet communications hookups, or use other computer-aided instructional technologies, such as those for the hearing-impaired or sight-impaired. These are based on the progress of the human resources training and improvement. The analysis in this edition of the OOH is based on the 2008-18 employment projections and includes May 2008 wages from the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey. The 2012-13 OOH to be released in late March 2012 will reflect employment projections to 2020 (released on February 1, 2012) and an updated education and training classification system. It also will include May 2010 wages from the OES.人力资源培训、劳动关系管理人员以及相关专业人才重点要点这些工人们的教育背景有很大的不同,反映了培训的多样性的义务和责任水平。

本科毕业论文(设计)外文翻译外文题目HR Metrics and Analytics: Use and Impact 外文出处 Human Resource Planning外文作者Edward wler,Alec Levenson,John W. Boudreau原文:HR Metrics and Analytics:Use and Impact HR functions often collect data on their efficiency, but not on the business impact of their programs and practices. This is a crucial point because HR organizations that collect effectiveness data are more likely to be strategic partners. If HR wants to play a strategic role in organizations it needs to develop its ability to measure how human capital decisions affect the business and how business decisions affect human capital.Many recent articles, books, and studies argue that HR needs to become a strategic partner (e.g., Jamrog & Overholt, 2004). Recent research suggests, however, that HR is not making much progress toward becoming a strategic partner despite the belief by HR professionals that it should (Lawler & Mohrman, 2003a; 2003b).Because of the growing importance of human capital in determining organizational effectiveness, HR can play a key role in developing and implementing corporate strategy and become a high-value-added part of organizations (Lawler, 2003). If HR can make a strong case for being an important part of strategy development and implementation because of the importance of human capital, why does HR often fall short of being a strategic partner? At least one possibility is because HR lacks the type of analytic and data-based decision-making capability needed to influence business strategy. One of the reasons for this may well be because it lacks the right metrics and analytic models. In comparison to Finance and Marketing, for example, HR often falls short when it comes to providing metrics that assess HR processes and practices from a strategic perspective. It also lacks analytic models that show the relationship between HR practices and the effectiveness of the organization.A strong case can be made that HR needs to develop belter metrics and analytics if it is ever to become a true strategic partner in most organizations. Lawler and Mohrman (2003b) identify the use of metrics as one of four characteristics that lead HR to become a strategic partner. Boudreau and Ramstad (2003) distinguish betweenproviding more HR measures (not a strategic contribution) and providing better logic and analytics for making decisions about talent (a strategic contribution). Organizations can collect three different kinds of metrics in order to better understand and evaluate the impact of HR activities and to influence business strategy and business performance. They are efficiency, effectiveness, and impact (Boudreau & Ramstad, 2003).The first kind of metric and in many respects the easiest to collect concerns the efficiency of the HR function—in particular, how well the HR function performs its basic administrative tasks. The metrics that can be collected in order to assess HR efficiency include productivity and cost metrics for the HR function such as lime to fill open positions, HR headcount ratios, and administrative cost per employee. A comprehensive set of metrics can be produced to evaluate HR's administrative activities that in effect evaluates it as a stand-alone business.A key issue in evaluating the data gathered with respect to HR administration concerns normative data. Multi-company databases now exist that make it possible for organizations to compare their metrics data with those of other companies. Organizations with good metrics and normative data can make a good assessment of the performance of their HR function as an administrative unit.Organizations vary in terms of the cost per employee for HR administration, but typically the cost ranges from $1,200 to $1,600 (Fitz-enz.2000). This is a large enough cost so that it certainly is worth measuring not just how much is spent but how well it Is spent in terms of the quality and impact of the services provided. Most efficiency-focused metrics are limited in that they do not address the issues of service quality and the impact of HR services on organizational effectiveness.The second kind of HR metrics focuses on effectiveness: whether HR programs and practices have the intended effect on the people or talent pools toward which they are directed. In the case of training and development, for example, true effectiveness metrics should offer information on whether employees build needed skills not just on participation in training programs but also on employee and management satisfaction with the training provided. Measuring only participation in HR programs offers noinsight into program effectiveness. While satisfaction surveys can be a useful tool for gauging the alignment between HR services and the opinions of HR's customers, they fall short of providing the needed insights into the real impact of HR programs and practices.A potentially meaningful set of effectiveness metrics for the HR function concerns talent and talent management. In most corporations, HR has the lead responsibility for acquiring, developing, and helping to deploy talent. In order to assess how well organizations are carrying out this responsibility, measures of talent quality, talent development, and talent deployment are needed. Typical metrics in this area include measures of the strategic skills and core competences embodied in the work force, as well as metrics that classify how well pivotal jobs are filled and the type of development activities that are taking place for critical talent. A strong case can be made that talent metrics need to be updated regularly so that organizations have ongoing data with respect to the condition of their human capital.Human capital metrics potentially can and often should influence the development and implementation of business strategies. Business strategies that make incorrect assumptions about the ability of an organization to staff critical jobs and develop new areas of expertise that support the strategy are obviously doomed to fail. Similarly, organizations that are not staffed with the right talent will have great difficulty implementing new strategies and organizational changes.Finally, metrics having to do with developing and optimizing the capabilities and the core competencies of the organization can be collected in order to measure the impact of HR programs and practices (Lawler. 2003). Impact in this case means demonstrating a link between what HR does and tangible effects on the organization's ability to gain and sustain competitive advantage. Operational effectiveness impact metrics might focus on changes in the performance of business processes (e.g., reduced defects, increased speed, more frequent innovations) that occur when the quality of talent is improved or when new HR practices are introduced.Although the development of organizational capabilities and core competencies is typically not the sole responsibility of HR, HR needs to and usually is expected toplay a key role in shaping and developing them. Both are highly talent-dependent for their development and both involve the development of organizational social capital and individual skills and knowledge. These are clearly areas where HR has a potential role to play and where it can actively influence how quickly and effectively an organization develops its capabilities and competences.The use of analytics in order to understand the impact of HR practices and policies on organizational performance is a powerful way for HR functions to add value to their organizations. Statistical techniques and experimental approaches can be used to tease out the causal relationship between particular HR practices and such performance metrics as customer satisfaction, sales per employee, and of course, the profitability of particular business activities. In many respects the "Holy Grail" for HR functions is the ability to show the bottom-line impact of their activities. This is a powerful way to increase HR's influence on company business decisions and future business strategies.Several things are required in order to perform the kind of analytics that show a relationship between HR practices and business outcomes. First, the right HR metrics are required. But metrics by themselves are not enough: Good analytic models and valid measures of company performance are required. HR needs to be able to bring data and data analysis to the strategy table that show how human capital management decisions affect organizational performance. It needs to go far beyond simply showing that HR can reduce the cost of HR administration and improve the quality of service. Doing this is not a high-value-added function in most corporations. Providing data about the strategic readiness of an organization to execute a strategy is high-value-added, as is identifying what an organization needs to do to implement a strategy.A number of studies have investigated the potential for HR practices to be strategically important. For example, Becker and Huselid (1998) found a relationship between HR practices and firm performance. Lawler and Mohrman (2003b) have shown how various features of the HR function relate to HR's role as a strategic partner. An enormous amount of normative writings concern the role HR should play.There is no question that HR executives feel HR should play a key strategic role in organizations: however, there is less clarity about how metrics are currently being used by HR functions and about how strong a relationship there is between the use of metrics and the degree to which HR is a strategic partner.In this study, we first look at the kinds of HR metrics that are used by organizations. Second, we examine the degree to which analytics are used to capture the impact of HR on the business. Finally, we assess whether those HR organizations that have more metrics and make greater use of analytics are more likely to be strategic partners.The StudySurveys were mailed to medium and large corporations that are corporate sponsors of the Center for Effective Organizations at the University of Southern California or were known by the authors to have an interest in HR measurement. HR executives who have positions with corporate-wide visibility of the HR function completed the surveys. Of the surveys returned. 37 were usable, for a response rate of 38 percent. Most survey responses came from large U.S.-based firms on the Fortune 500 list. The survey covered six areas:1. The company's current and future HR strategy;2. The HR data the organization collects in order to influence decisions;3. The overall effectiveness of the measurement and analysis system of the organization;4. The type of metrics and analytics collected by the organization;5. How the organization uses the analytics and metrics to assess and understand the impact of its HR programs;6. The degree to which the HR function is a strategic partner.How HR OperatesThe key elements of how HR organizations operate with respect to business strategy are presented in Exhibit 1. It shows that a minority report they are already very involved in strategic issues. Less than 25 percent of them are very involved in change management, partnering to develop business strategies, having integrated business and HR strategies, and providing analytic support for business decision making. Surprisingly, only 15 percent report extensive involvement in a data-based talent strategy.Exhibit 1 also presents data on how these HR functions see their role in the future. It clearly shows that these HR functions intend to be a major player in business strategy. Two-thirds or more report they plan to focus on providing analytics and metrics that are relevant to business performance and strategy. For example, 66 percent say that an important future focus for them is to partner with the line in developing business strategy. A similar percentage say they want metrics that provide support for business decisions. Eighty-two percent say they plan to have an integrated human capital and business strategy. Overall, the HR organizations studied, undoubtedly like many others in large corporations, are clearly committed to becoming strategic business partners.Presence of HR MeasuresA series of questions asked whether the organizations had particular HR measures. Exhibit 2 presents the responses to these questions. It shows a wide variation in the types of metrics. Most organizations have an HRIS system and have benchmark data available on the operations side of their HR function. Two-thirds have cost-efficiency data and over half have cost-of-service data; however, the numbers are much lower when it comes to analytic information and measures with respect to the business impact of HR policies and HR practices and a dashboard or score card for HR activities. Overall, the results suggest that efficiency measures are most prevalent; effectiveness measures exist, but are far less prevalent; and measures of impact are rare.Effectiveness of HR Metrics and AnalyticsExhibit 3 presents data on the effectiveness of organizations in using metrics and analytics to address critical business and HR issues. Among possible impact areas is awide range of effectiveness levels. The least effective are assessing new business strategies and possible HR programs. The most effective is identifying high-impact talent. When we interviewed several survey respondents, they said that while they did specify which talent might have a high impact on the business (e.g., leaders, salespeople) they often did not have a model or metrics to determine why some talent pools are chosen as high-impact and others are not.Exhibit 4 shows the degree to which organizations have the skills and data needed to address important operational and strategic issues. Interestingly, in the case of both skills and data, organizations are much more optimistic that they have the skills than that they have the data-providing more evidence that HR often lacks the data necessary to become a business partner. The interesting paradox is that the survey respondents we interviewed often said that the necessary data did exist, but was not connected to the HR data. They noted that the right logic and analytics for connecting HR data and business or strategy measures are an essential element of success but generally did not have them.Impact of MetricsExhibit 5 presents data showing the relationship between HR as a strategic partner and the presence of a variety of metrics. The presence of two metrics shows a clear relationship to the role of HR as strategic partner:1. Organizations with data that shows the business impact of HR practices report they are much more likely to be a strategic partner than those organizations that do not have such data,2. Organizations with measures of the effectiveness of HR practices targeted toward the workforce show a significant difference in comparison to those who do not. Those organizations that can measure the impact and effectiveness of their HR practices on the workforce are more likely to be strategic partners than are those that cannot.A number of items in Exhibit 5 show differences in the strategic role of HR in companies that have measures and those that do not, but the differences do not have statistical significance. For example, the companies that use efficiency metrics such as benchmarks, cost-of-services measures, and outsourced services tend to be more of a strategic partner than those that do not, but the differences are not statistically significant. Apparently, strategic partners have HR data that address key business issues such us the condition of the workforce and the business impact of HR practices and policies. The ability to run an effective HR organization and having efficiency measures for the HR organization, although perhaps helpful in making HK a credible strategic partner, do not make the difference that business impact data do, despite the fact that such efficiency measures are the most prevalent metrics used by HR today.Exhibit 6 supports the argument that HR organizations must provide strategic analysis in order to be a strategic partner. It shows the correlations between the degree to which an organization is a strategic partner and the current condition of HR metrics and analytics. There are a number of significant relationships in the exhibit. As expected. HR strategic partners have measures related to business decisions. Perhaps the most interesting relationships are the ones that are not significant. Specifically, having metrics that relate to outsourced HR transactions and having a low cost of HR services are not related to being a strategic partner. What are related are items concerned with the impact of HR on business decisions.HR as a Strategic PartnerThe results of the study support the model developed by Lawler and Mohrman (2003b) determining when HR will be a strategic partner. That model hypothesizes that an important contributor to a strategic partnership relationship for HR is having the right metrics and data. The results of the study strongly support that hypothesis. HR organizations able to perform strategic analytics are the ones most likely to be positioned as strategic partners.The results suggest that not all data are equally powerful when it comes to making HR a strategic partner. Having analytic data about strategy is a powerful way to gain a seat at the strategy table, while having data about the operation of the HRfunction is not. Thus it appears that "all" HR has to do to become a strategic partner like Finance and Marketing is to develop better HR metrics and analytics with respect to organizational effectiveness and strategy. This of course raises the question of what the results indicate about the degree to which HR currently has the right metrics.The results suggest that, in the firms studied, there is considerable room for improvement when it comes to their ability to gather and analyze the types of metrics data needed in order for HR to be a strategic partner. They seem to have good efficiency data about HR operations so that they are in a strong position when it comes to improving HR administration and to controlling its cost. But efficiency data about HR operations is not the kind of data that is associated with HR being a strategic partner.What is needed are measures that indicate whether HR programs and practices actually make a difference in the organizational effectiveness areas towards which they are directed. In addition it is important to measure whether and how improving talent areas actually affects business processes, resources, and, ultimately, strategic success. These two elements clearly tire the weakest in the companies studied. Many of them need to develop better metrics with respect to talent, organizational capabilities, and core competencies. They also need to develop analytic capabilities in order to assess the degree to which such HR practices as talent management have an impact on organizational performance, and the degree to which organizational capabilities have an impact on organizational performance.Because the companies studied do not represent a random sample of all companies, there is a good chance our results do not accurately reflect the condition of most companies when it comes to metrics and analytics. Indeed, there is a good chance that the companies in our sample are well above average when it comes to using metrics and analytics. They are in the sample because they were already active or wanted to be active in these areas. Thus, a study covering a random sample of companies is likely to find a much lower average level of activity and effectiveness with respect to metrics and analytics.HR in the FutureWill HR develop its metrics and analytics capability? There are a number of reasons to believe it will despite the belief HR's current capabilities in those areas are low. HR managers clearly want to address key -Strategic business issues. They also arc aware that their HR metrics and analytics capabilities fall short of what is needed to address most key business decisions and business strategy issues. Thus they meet the first condition for change: There is a felt need.The growing use of information technology is a clear positive with respect to the ability lo change. Because most organizations now have an HRIS system, enormous data warehouses are being created. Having data warehouses containing valid measures of important HR practices and outcomes creates a great opportunity for organizations to answer key business issues with quantitative data. Eighty-percent of the organizations responding to our survey have an enterprise-wide HR information system that could be linked to business data, yet far fewer reported using metrics and analytics to connect HR investments to business outcomes.In general, the results are encouraging with respect to the future ability of these organizations to relate HR metrics to operational outcomes. Most of these organizations are developing the kind of skills and data needed to assess effectively the link between HR policies and practices and organizational performance; however, it remains to be seen whether these organizations will ultimately develop the needed skills and data.In order for HR metrics to drive change, the right analyses need to be performed. The wrong analyses can mislead, such as when leaders assume that just because one thing is associated with another (such as satisfaction is correlated with performance), it means that one thing causes the other. Many organizations do not have skills in analysis, research design, and data interpretation within the HR function. Even when these skills exist, they are applied only to specific areas such as attitude surveys or test validation. Where can HR go for such skills if not within its own function? Organizational areas that depend on data analysis {such as R&D. market analysis, operations management, financial audit) often have skilled analysts whose expertise can be brought to bear on the data and logic of how people and their talents connect tobusiness success. HR organizations can forge partnerships with these areas in order to obtain analytic skills. In the long run, analytic skills need to reside within the HR organization itself, and should become an important HR competency.There is a good possibility that as part of the overall changes taking place in the HR function there will be considerably more analytic and metrics work done and it will help HR take on a more strategic role in corporations. It may be an overstatement to say that metrics represent a kind of holy grail that will help HR become a true strategic partner. But it is not an overstatement to suggest that a growing focus on metrics and analytics can help HR functions become more of a player in the game of corporate business decisions and strategies.Source: Edward wler, Alec Levenson, John W.

At present, an increasing number of SMEs in the development of human resources planning is there are a lot of confusion and helplessness.Conditions in the knowledge-based economy, human resources of small and medium enterprises have a vital role in development. More and more small and medium-sized owners, corporate governance has become accustomed to the level of human resources management on the importance of enterprise development, but for the development of human resources planning is always there are a lot of confusion and helplessness."Human resource planning is very simple, not that more recruitment, remuneration, such as content, and sometimes combined with some training things.", "CEOs are still racking their brains set strategy, how can I make a planning", "human resource planning has not done very much sense, does not change plans quickly, the end of the day can be honored only 20% -30%. " HR is more than many small and medium enterprises are the views of human resources planning. So, how small and medium enterprises have no need for human resource planning? How can we work out a scientific human resource planning? First of all, let us take a look at the implementation of small and medium-sized effect of human resource planning is not ideal because:Human resource planning is not fully familiar withDo a good job in human resources management are the trilogy: a clear strategic planning - human resources planning - human resources management system and specific implementation plan. Corporate strategic objectives of the overall development of human resources planning determines the content, and these contents for the establishment of humanresources management system, develop specific plans to add staff, the use of plans, personnel and promotion plan to succeed, education and training plan, assessment and incentive plan, labor relations, retirement plan termination to provide the direction and in accordance with the guidelines. A broad sense of human resource planning includes all of these specific content, and not merely "just more of recruitment, remuneration, such as content, sometimes coupled with the training point of things."Human resource planning is the development of strategic planning an important component of the enterprise but also the human resources management of the foundation and basis. And the management of small and medium-sized and HR are not fully aware of precisely this point, so that the specific process of the formulation and implementation of a lack of sufficient attention, at all levels of department heads and line managers can not effectively cope with.The strategic objectives of the company is not clearHuman Resources Department must be combined with the implementation of corporate strategy to human resources support and guarantees. In human resources development and governance activities, strategic objectives should be to the strategic guidance of human resources policies to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness. Therefore, human resource planning is a prerequisite for enterprise development and corporate strategy clear first, and then can be decomposed into human resources, then demand will have plans, recruitment plans, payroll and other welfare plan with matching. And small and medium-sized general lack of a clear development strategy, particularly in the rapid expansion phase, is often involved in different business areas, including in many emerging industries. These new industries in R & D, marketing, management, and service all aspects of the experience does not mature for reference, especially to open up some new projects, setting a quota of work posts and not as mature as traditional business. Therefore, in human resources managementcan not have a clear plan, can only go one step further and look forward.Changes in the external environment company too fast, not planningChanges in the development of the market very quickly, and with the market despite changes in the industry to make plans, to reach a rate of year-end target of 20% -30%, however. If an IT company is a regional association in one of the major agents. In the beginning of the year, the company's Human Resources Department in accordance with the company's annual development strategy this year to develop the company's human resources planning. But in the New Year began less than three months, the Lenovo Group's own strategy, and the significant changes in organizational structure. So the supply chain as a part of the IT companies need to be adjusted throughout the company's human resources planning, in accordance with the requirements of a new company set up with the establishment, re-enact a series of related training programs. In fact, the external political, economic, legal, technical, cultural and other factors has been a series of dynamic changes, will cause a corresponding strategic objectives of the enterprise constantly changing, which in turn may lead to subsequent changes in human resource planning .Lack of human resources planning and personnel expertiseAt present, although many small and medium-sized set up a Human Resources Department, but the functions of the departments responsible in the exercise, the prevalence of some problems, mainly reflected in: first, the overall quality is not high, very few professionals, lack of expertise reserves, lack of professional skills ; Second, the lack of vocational training system; third, who was born and raised a number of human resources work, do not have good training, no formal influence of large corporations, low vision. Human resources are a very unique work; personal qualities understand the requirements and have a high learning ability. Of these factors, there are many rather than through the process of formal education available. An outstanding work of human resources does not depend oncertification by the theory of culture is not, and need is the work of its deep experience and a keen insight into the community. Otherwise, continue to rely solely on the principle of data processing technology or the training of human resources to create works in the same paper. In view of human resource development and governance are to penetrate the realities of small and medium-sized, with the various enterprises are familiar with the work of human resources and increasing practice, human resource planning will be in the development of enterprises play a powerful role in promoting.Human resources planning are to organize the protection of sustainable development, the importance of seeking development and growth, particularly in the small and medium enterprises. And whether the development and effective implementation of human resources planning does not depend on the size of the company, the most critical is based on the company's development strategy and operating characteristics of the development of suitable management policies. Most of the current characteristics and the operation of these enterprises are facing the problem of work, we propose the following recommendations: Clear core of human resourcesThe starting point for human resources planning is to clearly define the company's core competitive advantages, that is, the business environment in the enterprise, he is the survival value? His resources to maintain a competitive advantage for that? Take in order to maintain its competitive edge to find the real core of human resources. The core of human resources is to determine the survival and development of enterprise key factors, the need for incentives, education and training, design an appropriate career plan, and continuously to ensure that the recruitment of the core group of human resources capacity expansion, quality improvement, and long-term presence in the enterprise.Flexibility to develop forward-looking human resources planningThe so-called flexibility of human resource planning, is based on the core competitiveness of enterprises, re-evaluation and planning of human resources in enterprises, and form a general combination of human resources in order to ensure that the needs of enterprise's core competitive advantage of the conditions to meet the demands arising from the external business environment caused by temporary changes in human needs. In particular, in the assessment of the existing stock of human resources and define their core human resources on the basis of preparatory support the development of manpower planning and training programs accordingly, and its goal is the production or service enterprises are facing capacity expansion of opportunities, as soon as possible, with middle-level officers at the core support staff to enhance the organizations ability to respond.With the advent of the era of knowledge economy, Sees are facing a growing business environment can not guess, is filled with variables and business opportunities. Human resources planning must adapt to the needs of enterprise governance, maintaining a certain degree of flexibility in order to avoid the transfer of the business strategy of human resources when rigid, dysfunctional and hinder the development of enterprises. At the same time to further strengthen the human resource planning human resource management activities of the forward-looking, functional direction and predictability.The establishment of three-dimensional model of human resource managementPractical human resources planning must be based on internal communication, the basis of mutual cooperation. According to human resources management of small and medium-sized features, the creation of a layer in the decision-making, first-line managers and human resources management in collaboration between the scientific divisions of the three-dimensional model of governance, human resources will contribute to the formulation of strategic planning and implementation.Three-dimensional model, is defined as decision-making, human resource managementdepartments, first-line manager is responsible for the scientific division of labor and human resources management of the business, and the corresponding collaboration. In general, the decision-making level responsible for strategic planning and human resources to support the Human Resources Department, line manager, human resources work; human resources management department is responsible for job analysis, job evaluation and other infrastructure services, and to assist front-line managers do a good job in the core business and to help decision-making to do a good job of human resources strategic planning; first-line managers responsible for management of human resources in the core business in the key link to hold, and to assist Human Resources Department to do a good job analysis and job evaluation of posts and other infrastructure, as well as to assist decision-making to do a good job of human resources strategic planning .人力资源管理在企业的人力资源治理中,人力资源规划不仅具有先导性和战略性,在实施企业总体发展战略规划和目标的过程中也具有举足轻重的作用。

人力资源专业绩效考核管理方面英文文献及中文翻译Performance assessment inquiryAbstractIn the aspect of human resource management, performance appraisal methods of diversity, in the end should adopt what kind of performance evaluation method is more reasonable, performance appraisal should be by what kind of way is easier to implement and achieve the better management results, is a question worth pondering. This paper will focus on the types of performance assessment and its effect, analyze the types of performance assessment, and explore how to correctly andappropriately assess the performance, and do a good job in management.1.Performance appraisals - purpose and how to make it easierPerformance appraisals are essential for the effective managementand evaluation of staff. Appraisals help develop individuals, improve organizational performance, and feed into business planning. Formal performance appraisals are generally conducted annually for all staff in the organization. His or her line manager appraises each staff member. Directors are appraised by the CEO, who is appraised by the chairman or company owners, depending on the size and structure of the organization.Annual performance appraisals enable management and monitoring of standards, agreeing expectations and objectives, and delegation of responsibilities and tasks. Staff performance appraisals also establishindividual training needs and enable organizational training needs analysis and planning.Performance appraisals also typically feed into organizationalannual pay and grading reviews, which commonly also coincide with the business planning for the next trading year.Performance appraisals generally review each individual'sperformance against objectives and standards for the trading year,agreed at the previous appraisal meeting. Performance appraisals arealso essential for career and succession planning - for individuals, crucial jobs, and for the organization as a whole.Performance appraisals are important for staff motivation, attitude and behavior development, communicating and aligning individual and organizational aims, andfostering positive relationships between management and staff.Performance appraisals provide a formal, recorded, regular review ofan individual's performance, and a plan for future development.Job performance appraisals - in whatever form they take - aretherefore vital for managing the performance of people and organizations.Managers and appraises commonly dislike appraisals and try to avoid them. To these people the appraisal is daunting and time-consuming. The process is seen as a difficult administrative chore and emotionally challenging. The annual appraisal is maybe the only time since last year that the two people have sat down together for a meaningful one-to-onediscussion. No wonder then that appraisals are stressful - which then defeats the whole purpose.Appraisals are much easier, and especially more relaxed, if the boss meets each of the team members individually and regularly for one-to-one discussion throughout the year.Meaningful regular discussion about work, career, aims, progress, development, hopes and dreams, life, the universe, the TV, common interests, etc., whatever, makes appraisals so much easier because people then know and trust each other - which reduces all the stress and the uncertainty.Put off discussions and of course they loom very large. So don'twait for the annual appraisal to sit down and talk. The boss or the appraises can instigate this.If you are an employee with a shy boss, then take the lead. If you are a boss who rarely sits down and talks with people - or whose people are not used to talking with their boss - then set about relaxing the atmosphere and improving relationships. Appraisals (and work) all tend to be easier when people communicate well and know each other.So sit down together and talk as often as you can, and then when the actual formal appraisals are due everyone will find the whole process to be far more natural, quick, and easy - and a lot more productive too.2.Appraisals, social responsibility and whole-person developmentThere is increasingly a need for performance appraisals of staff and especiallymanagers, directors and CEO's, to include accountabilities relating to corporate responsibility, represented by various converging corporate responsibility concepts including: the “Triple Bottom Line”; corporate social responsibility (CSR);Sustainability; corporate integrity and ethics; Fair Trade, etc. The organization must decide the extent to which these accountabilities are reflected in job responsibilities, which would then naturally feature accordingly in performance appraisals. More about this aspect of responsibility is in the directors’ job descriptions section.Significantly also, while this appraisal outline is necessarily a formal structure this does not mean that the development discussed with the appraises must be formal and constrained. In fact the opposite applies. Appraisals must address “whole person”development - not just job skills or the skills required for thenext promotion.Appraisals must not discriminate against anyone on the grounds of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, disability, etc.The UK Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006, (consistent with Europe), effective from 1st October 2006, make it particularly important to avoid any comments, judgments, suggestions, questions or decisions which might be perceived by the appraises to be based on age. This means people who are young as well as old. Age, along with other characteristics stated above, is not a lawful basis for assessing andmanaging people, unless proper 'objective justification' can be proven. See the Age Diversity information.When designing or planning and conducting appraisals, seek to help the 'whole-person' to grow in whatever direction they want, not just to identify obviously relevant work skills training. Increasingly, the best employers recognize that growing the 'whole person' promotes positive attitudes, advancement, motivation, and also develops lots of new skills that can be surprisingly relevant to working productively andeffectively in any sort of organization.Developing the whole-person is also an important aspect of modern corporate responsibility, and separately (if you needed a purely business-driven incentive for adopting these principles), whole-person development is a crucial advantage in the employment market, in whichall employers compete to attract the best recruits, andto retain the best staff.Therefore in appraisals, be creative and imaginative in discussing, discovering and agreeing 'whole-person' development that people will respond to, beyond the usual job skill-set, and incorporate this sort of development into the appraisal process. Abraham Maslow recognized this over fifty years ago.If you are an employee and your employer has yet to embrace or even acknowledge these concepts, do them a favor at your own appraisal and suggest they look at these ideas, or maybe mention it at your exitinterview prior to joining a better employer who cares about the people, not just the work.Incidentally the Multiple Intelligences test and VAK Learning Styles test are extremely useful tools for appraisals, before or after, to help people understand their natural potential and strengths and to help managers understand this about their people too. There are a lot of people out there who are in jobs which don't allow them to use and develop their greatest strengths; so the more we can help folk understand their own special potential, and find roles that really fit well, the happier we shall all be.3 .Are performance appraisals still beneficial and appropriateIt is sometimes fashionable in the 'modern age' to dismisstraditional processes such as performance appraisals as being irrelevant or unhelpful. Be very wary however if considering removing appraisals from your own organizational practices. It is likely that the critics of the appraisal process are the people who can't conduct them very well.It's a common human response to want to jettison something that onefinds difficult. Appraisals - in whatever form, and there are various - have been a mainstay of management for decades, for good reasons.Think about everything that performance appraisals can achieve and contribute to when they are properly managed, for example:(1)performance measurement - transparent, short, medium and longterm(2)clarifying, defining, redefining priorities and objectives(3)motivation through agreeing helpful aims and targets(4)motivation though achievement and feedback(5)training needs and learning desires - assessment and agreement(6)identification of personal strengths and direction - including unused hidden strengths(7)career and succession planning - personal and organizational(8)team roles clarification and team building(9)organizational training needs assessment and analysis(10)appraise and manager mutual awareness, understanding and relationship(11)resolving confusions and misunderstandings(12)reinforcing and cascading organizational philosophies, values, aims, strategies, priorities, etc(13)delegation, additional responsibilities, employee growth and development(14)counseling and feedback(15)manager development - all good managers should be able to conduct appraisals well - it's a fundamental process(16)the list goes onPeople have less and less face-to-face time together these days. Performance appraisals offer a way to protect and manage these valuable face-to-face opportunities. My advice is to hold on to and nurture these situations, and if you are under pressure to replace performance appraisals with some sort of (apparently) more efficient and costeffective methods, be very sure that you can safely cover all the aspects of performance and attitudinal development that a well-run performance appraisals system is naturally designed to achieve.There are various ways of conducting performance appraisals, and ideas change over time as to what are the most effective appraisals methods and systems. Some people advocate traditional appraisals and forms; others prefer 360-degree-type appraisals; others suggest using little more than a blank sheet of paper.In fact performance appraisals of all types are effective if theyare conducted properly, and better still if the appraisal process is clearly explained to, agreed by, the people involved.Managers need guidance, training and encouragement in how to conduct appraisals properly. Especially the detractors and the critics. Help anxious managers (and directors) develop and adapt appraisals methods that work for them. Be flexible. There are lots of ways to conduct appraisals, and particularly lots of ways to diffuse apprehension and fear - for managers and appraises alike. Particularly - encourage people to sit down together and review informally and often - this removes much of the pressure for managers and appraises at formal appraisals times. Leaving everything to a single make-or-break discussion once a year is asking for trouble and trepidation.Look out especially for the warning signs of 'negative cascaded attitudes' towards appraisals. This is most often found where a senior manager or director hates conducting appraisals, usually because theyare uncomfortable and inexperienced in conducting them. The senior manager/director typically will be heard to say that appraisals don't work and are a waste of time, which for them becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.All that said, performance appraisals that are administered without training (for those who need it), without explanation or consultation, and conducted poorly will be counter-productive and is a waste of everyone's time.Well-prepared and well-conducted performance appraisals provide unique opportunities to help appraise and managers improve and develop, and thereby also the organizations for whom they work.Just like any other process, if performance appraisals aren't working, don't blame the process, ask yourself whether it is being properly trained, explained, agreed and conducted.4. Effective performance appraisalsAside from formal traditional (annual, six-monthly, quarterly, or monthly) performance appraisals, there are many different methods of performance evaluation. The use of any of these methods depends on the purpose of the evaluation, the individual, the assessor, and the environment.The formal annual performance appraisal is generally the over-riding instrument, which gathers together and reviews all other performance data for the previous year.Performance appraisals should be positive experiences. Theappraisals process provides the platform for development and motivation, so organizations should foster a feeling that performance appraisals are positive opportunities, in order to get the best out of the people and the process. In certain organizations, performance appraisals are widely regarded as something rather less welcoming ('blocking sessions' is not an unusual description), which provides a basis only on which to develop fear and resentment, so never, never, never use a staff performance appraisal to handle matters of discipline or admonishment, which should instead be handled via separately arranged meetings.5.

The Development of Human Resource Management In China IntroductionWith the advent of the 21st century, Human Resource Management, as a relatively new management subject, is playing a more and more important role in today’s business activities. This repor t mainly discusses 3 questions about today’s human resource management. The first section discusses the changing function of human resource management in terms of 3 aspects which are staff-company relations, HR model development and HR strategies. The second section describes the exploring stage of HRM in China. System building, recruitment and motivation are the three aspects to support the opinion. The third section discusses the new challenges that HR managers in China may face. In this part, challenges from the changing business age, HR managers’ abilities to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity and solitary to collective activity are discussed.Question 1Human resource management, as the quickly developing subject, without doubt, has changed a lot in its function in many fields. This section will mainly discuss the HRM’s change and expansion in the aspect of staff-company relations, HR model development and HR strategies as the following.In the aspect of the staff-company relations, the changing functions will be discussed from 3 aspects which are power factors, employees and motivational method. First, in terms of the power factors, 10 years ago the relationship between employees and the company was regarded as ‘Labor and Enterprise’ while nowadays more companies show understanding and respect for the human spirit. For example, Google China places a piano in the hall of the company and even set a kitchen and the washing machine for their employees (Jim Westcott, 2005). Second, in terms of the employees, employees are considered as thinking and rational beings around 10 years ago. The reason why they chose this company was the satisfactory salary. But today, staffs are considered as fully evolved, completely satisfied, mature human beings. Third, in the motivational methods aspect, the change is really huge. A decade ago, companies often drove employees through basic needs such as a big bonus. While the role seems to highlight people’s social and intellectual needs.In the aspect of HR model development, some human resource management functions have expanded during the past decade. One of the new products of human resource management is the HR outsourcing which support the core HR activities and business processes associated with HR administration. Outsourcing HR functions or processes is a viable decision for businesses, particularly those whose internal HR department has reached the limit of its effectiveness; businesses that want to access new programs or services (but don't want to incur the required investment), or those that want to focus on core competencies. The advantage of HR outsourcing is obvious: Obtaining access to (internally) unavailable expertise, skills, technologies; increased flexibility; reducing costs/reduce investment. This way has achieved great success in some countries, forexample, Canada. Spending on HR outsourcing in Canada, is forecast to increase by more than 13%, on average, every year between 2005 and 2009 (Jim Westcott, 2005).The majority of HR strategies have been developed over the last decade. Twenty per cent of respondents indicate that an HR strategy has been in place at their institution for less than three years, 60% report that the HR strategy was developed in the past three to seven years and 20% indicate that the strategy is ten or more years old. These data reinforce the notion that HR management has taken on a much more strategic role within the past decade. The HR strategy in recruitment and retention can be discussed in long-term goals as well as shorter-term operational procedures. In terms of recruitment and retention some institutions are primarily concerned with short-term objectives. For example, one Canadian respondent stated that their HR strategy involves ‘an annual recruitment and retention plan that governs academic staff hiring and retention for the following academic year’ (Ronold G Ehrenbdeg, 2005). Other responses highlight long-term objectives and broader issues relating to staff development and performance as well as policy and strategic planning for future institutional growth. For example, one Australian institution states that their HR strategy is concerned with ‘workforce planning, age profiling, attraction and retention issues, and reengineering the recruitment process’. The general focus of this strategy is on strategic planning for successive generations.Question 2With China's entering the WTO, modern enterprise management concept has been gradually accepted by Chinese enterprises and, human resources management has been developed and promoted in the majority of enterprises. However, as a management skill that gets access to China less than 30 years and faced with the cultural conflict, HRM in China still stays in the exploring stage.In the aspect of system building, human resources management system in China is imperfect still. According to the recent report of HR in China, less than forty percent of the enterprises have established the business development strategy combining with human resources management system. Furthermore, only 12.9% of them can really implement this strategy. What is more, employees’ career development planning, staff representation system, and the staff Rationalized suggestion are the 3 strategies that are not completed enough. Only 9% of the researched en terprises establish and implement the employees’ career development planning (Zhao Yin, 2007).In terms of the recruitment, the forms of recruitment in Chinese enterprises are not diversified enough. Although the modern enterprises can recruit through more and more channels such as networks, an executive search firm, job fairs, campus recruitment, advertising media and so many ways that can provide companies with human resources information, the majority of the companies still choose form as job fairs. However, according to the ‘2007 Human Resource Report’, the percentage of the surveyedcompanies which have been tried to recruit through network was 35%, which was 12% higher than that of the year 2006. Secondly, the technologies during the recruitment that the companies use are still in a growing stage. Only half of the enterprises plan to use professional test tool to find suitable staff. Ways like knowledge test, psychological test and presentation are introduced in China recently and are welcomed.The motivation in China is at a developing stage. Most Chinese companies have motivation strategies. Quite a few of them prefer to choose short-term and direct motivating strategies like paying. At present, China has 70% of the enterprises in accordance with different types of personnel to set different pay scales (Zhao Yin, 2007). Paying is a common kind of economic motivation. Paying incentives for executives directly show in their steady growth of income - wages, which is very intuitive. However, with the ra ise of executives’ social status and overall ability, material and money are no longer the key point of motivation. Research from China Database, one of the most authority databases, show that 19.6% of the surveyed enterprises use virtual equity of the company as the long-term motivation methods and 18.9% of them use the form of giving share options as the long-term motivation, while 78.2% of the enterprises have not implemented the long-term motivation. As one of the ways to motivate staff, long-term also includes creating a platform for employees which may attract employees since they can exert their abilities fully.Question 3As the functions of human resource have changed since the 21st century, challenges are coming to the human resource managers in China. For China is still in the exploring stage mentioned in question 2, the challenges should be more than those in developed human resource management countries. In the information era, the economic era and the knowledge, the challenges for Chinese HRM managers are mainly from these three fields.The first challenges for HRM is the changing role of organizations from the Industrial Age to the Information Age. Work performed in factories by machines is being replaced by work in offices or at computer terminals. And instead of working with things, people increasingly work with ideas and concepts. Information and knowledge have replaced manufacturing as the source of most new jobs. Thus, taking charge of thousands of workers in a factory is not the typical functions of modern human resource managers. Although the numbers of employees may decrease, but the extent of difficulty will not decrease since employees are more knowledgeable and informative.Like the popular saying nowadays ’The only thing that doesn’t change is change’, with the development of the technologies, tools that human being use speed up the pace of people’s life. Thus the second challenge which may face the human resource manager is the abilities to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity. Static, permanent organizations designed for a stable and predictable world are giving way to flexible, adaptive organizations more suited for a new world of change and transformation. Emphasis on permanence, tradition and the past is giving way to creativity and innovation in the searchfor new solutions, new processes, and new products and services. Maintaining the status is less important than a vision of the future and the organization's destiny. We are used to dealing with certainty and predictability. We need to become accustomed to dealing with uncertainty and ambiguity.The next challenges will be the ability of HR managers to adapt from muscular to mental work (Alexandria, 1997). Repetitive physical labor that doesn't add value is increasingly being replaced by mental creativity. Routine and monotony are giving way to innovation and a break with tradition. In the past, people were considered to be merely workers, an old concept that associated people with things. Now people are considered purveyors of activities and knowledge whose most important contributions are their intelligence and individual talents. We are used to dealing with physical, repetitive manual labor; we need to become accustomed to dealing with mental, creative, and innovative work.What is more, another problem that may challenge HR managers in China is to organize employee to finish projects from solitary to collective activity (FangCai, 2005). With the rising difficulty of complex and technology, it is almost impossible for only one person to finish a project. Thus teamwork is supplanting individual activity. The old emphasis on individual efficiency (on which the total efficiency of the organization depended) is being replaced by group synergy. It's a matter of multiplying efforts, rather than simply adding them. We are used to individualized, isolated work; we need to change to high-performance teamwork. Thus the function of human resource managers is to offer the company the suitable person and coordinate the relationship among the team, especially in China, a country that highlights relationship and harmony very much.ConclusionThis article first analyses the changed functions of human resource management nowadays. In terms of the staff-company relations, a trend of closer and humane relationship between staff and companies emerges. The model of HR outsourcing is showing its strong competitiveness and may become one of the main way that HR management to use. Secondly, this article states that China today still stays in the exploring stage of human resource management. The uncompleted HRM system building, the single form of recruitment, the growing interview technologies and the lack of long- term motivation in Chinese enterprises, all these facts shows that China has a long way to go in the development of HRM. Thirdly, Challenges for HRM managers in China are tough and numerous. Changes from the Industrial Age to the Information Age, stability to change, muscular to mental work lead the challenges for Chinese HRM managers. To sum up, it is a long way to go for the development of human resource management in China.人力资源管理在中国的发展导言随着二十一世纪的到来,人力资源管理作为一个相对较新的管理问题,扮演了一个越来越重要的作用在当今的商业中。
